John Fante (April 8, 1909 – May 8, 1983) was a novelist, short-story and screenwriter of Italian descent. Born in Colorado, Fante's early years were spent in poverty. He was educated in Boulder and attended the University of Colorado.
In 1929, he dropped out of college to write, moving to California where most of his works are set. There he was befriended by H.L. Mencken, who published his first story in The American Mercury magazine.
His most popular novel was Ask the Dust, a semi-autobiographical novel, forming a part of the "Arturo Bandini" series. Arturo Bandini was his alter ego in a total of four novels: The Road to Los Angeles (written in the 1930s, but not published until 1985), Wait Until Spring, Bandini (1938), Ask the Dust (1939), and finally Dreams from Bunker Hill (1982), which was dictated to his wife Joyce near the end of his life because he suffered from diabetic blindness.
